Preparation of Apples

Begin by coring, peeling, and slicing approximately 150 grams of apples. The choice of apples can vary depending on availability and taste preference, ranging from sweet to tart varieties.

Cooking Process

Place the prepared apples in a saucepan. Add enough water to slightly cover the apples and bring to a simmer over medium heat. If opting for sweetness, add sugar to your taste, approximately 0-15 grams. For a hint of tartness and preservation, a small amount of lemon juice (1-5 ml) can be added. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor. Continue to cook until the apples are completely soft and have a mushy consistency, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Finishing Touches

Once the apples have softened, use a potato masher or blender to mash the apples to the desired consistency. For a smoother apple sauce, additional water can be added during the blending process. Adjust the flavor to your preference by adding more sugar, lemon juice, or cinnamon if needed. Let the apple sauce cool before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, as per individual preference.
